Early in 2027, our Wild Nature Photo Travel team is going to be running a sold-out expedition to Antarctica on a private ship for just ten photographers. For this expedition, we will be flying over the Drake Passage in both directions, saving ourselves 4 days of rough sea travel. This expedition has been sold out for some time, but we are now offering the same trip in early 2028 (full details are here), and it felt like a good time to do a benefit analysis of the many different offerings out there.
The below is a direct comparison that breaks down the most significant benefits of our unique Antarctica offering. The most significant factors for many will be the flights over the Drake Passage (saving four days of rough sea travel), the number of actual days in Antarctica, the guide to client ratio, the number of zodiac operations and landings (including actual time ashore), early and late operations for the best possible light, and of course the actual realised cost per day in Antarctica.
*** Update to above – I forgot to include the airfare over the Drake in the final total. Once included, the per cost per day comes out at $2,138 USD. Over $1200 USD per day cheaper per day.
